Dear Bernhard,

  sorry for the extremely late answer; mirating my office took a good part
of my time lately but now I am catching up a little.

  I personally think improving accessibility of Formulator would be a
very important goal. I vaguely thought about some steps like adding accesskeys
or a better useable label implementation ... however I admit I never got
to make any progress into this direction.

  So if You could add improvements this would be great. The preferred format
to contribute those patches would be a "diff" output; however if You are working
in a windows environment or have any other problems with handling diff, a zip-file
of the modified sources of Formulator is also acceptable, as long as You tell us
from which original product version the modified sources stem from. If You omit
the version information, merging in the modification will be hard to near impossible,
however - so please give us that information.

  I guess its ok to mail the diff or zip file for the formulator-dev list.

  I am stumbeling a little about the word "templates". Currently the code which renders
the form and the field is containted in the "Widget.py", i.e. not in templates.
Are You talking about the templates Plone uses to display Formulator forms?
If yes, then changes in these templates need to go into Plone, not Formulator,
sorry. You will have to contact the Plone folks.

  However in any case I would like to know about the changes. Maybe if You are changing
templates to get around a limitation of the Formulator product and tell us about, we
can review the problem and enhance Formulator in a way making workarounds unnecessary,
or making the templating easier.

  Again sorry for the late reply; I will have more time now to reply quicker
the next time.

Cheers,
Clemens
